Definitions

  • This invention relates to ion exchange resins, and in particular to anion exchange resins having a low chlorine content.
  • Anion exchange resins are employed in numerous water treatment applications in order to purify streams which are in contact with metals, especially ferrous metals.
  • Such resins contain chlorine in the form of chloride ions and organic chloride which can leach into the treated fluid to cause corrosion of said metals.
  • the active ionic chloride used herein is the chloride in ionic form which is leachable from the resin, as distinguished from covalent chlorine which is strongly bound and releasable usually only upon destruction of the resin. It is thought the source of the increased active chloride is unreacted chlorine sites in the polymer network resulting from incomplete functionalization of the resin or chlorine introduced to the inert copolymer matrix which thereafter converts from covalent to ionic form upon conversion of the resin to the hydroxide form. It is further believed that the functional group of the ion exchange resin in hydroxide form is capable of causing migration of chlorine within the molecule.
  • Chloride ion can be displaced from a resin by treating the resin with (1) solutions containing ions for which the resin has a selectivity in preference approaching, equaling or exceeding chloride; (2) highly concentrated solutions containing ions for which the resin has low to high selectivity; and (3) fluids containing complexes for which the resin has high affinity. Additionally, resins having high chloride content can lose chloride to relatively pure solvents or solvent mixtures under conditions of high temperature, pressure, and the like.
  • Typical low chloride content anion exchange resins contain about 2 to about 10 equivalent percent chloride, based on total exchangeable ions. Such resins are clearly limited in the amount of their functional capacity in the hydroxide form.
  • the present invention is a process for preparing strong-base anion exchange resins containing less than 0.5 equivalent percent total chloride based on active sites of the resin, said process comprising providing crosslinked polymer beads which are haloalkylated, functionalizing the halo- alkylated crosslinked polymer beads with a tertiary amine, and further functionalizing said functionalized crosslinked polymer beads with a primary or secondary amine of a low molecular weight, and contacting the functionalized crosslinked polymer beads at a temperature less than about 60°C with an effective amount of at least one ionic agent exchangeable with chloride ions.
  • the present invention is an anion exchange resin essentially free of active chloride.
  • said anion exchange resin can -*. -
